Welcome business owner! You’ll start your journey with a small storefront and a few bucks in your pocket. Create items in your factory and sell them in your store to start raking in the money. Expand your store, upgrade your factory, and improve your marketing to keep your business growing! Keep your business on track by completing objectives and missions for your store. You’ll be able to collect great rewards, including new legendary workers and legendary decorations, which will propel you into riches. Upgrade your workers and improve your decorations to keep your shop running smoothly. Franchise old businesses to improve profits, get passive income, and reap great loot. Every business that you grow from the ground up can then be franchised off to improve your future businesses. You’ll also unlock new upgradable items that improve your business even further! Every item you sell in your store gets you XP. Level up and unlock brand new items for your store, upgrades for your factory, new marketing tactics, and many more features to keep your fortunes growing bigger. Most items that you sell in your store need to be made in your factory first. Upgrade your factory to hold more items and create them faster. This is key to selling more high value items at your store. Your store starts out small, but as you earn more coins you can expand the size of your store as well as buy more tables to stock items. Make sure your tables are always stocked so that customers can spend their hard earned money at your store. As you level up you unlock new marketing strategies. Whether it’s getting more customers in your store or getting customers to buy more when they’re at your store, marketing is an important aspect of any business. Spending your money on marketing has long-term benefits that are worth the initial cost! Unlock explorers to send them out on excursions. Sending out your explorers on excursions costs money, but while they are on excursions they can find ingredients for store items, tokens to upgrade your workers, money, and many new items to improve your business.
